Post by Airconvent »

Talk about priorities...at least the lack of it back then to retain the higher resolution video clips of the moon landing....

I never once saw the moon landing video before. Anyway, do you guys think that the first moon landing is real or a hoax?

Hi,
I never once saw the moon landing video before. Anyway, do you guys think that the first moon landing is real or a hoax?
See this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 3953240830

Anyway, I think it is real... It's very difficult to keep those "inside people" from talking for so many years if it a hoax... how much $$ can they earn and leave a name as the greatest hoax in history... :P :P :P Also, if it a hoax, I think there won't had the story of Apollo 13.

Have a nice day.

Thanks for the free documentary , weixing!
Now I am wondering if they can find the originals, then maybe we can see it much clearer..:roll:

Canopus, soon after the series X-files was ended, many fans desperate for their fix resorted to the scientific equivalent of substance abuse...some banged their heads against the walls , some decided to grow long hair and join Singapore Idols but last and certainly not least, a select few became "The Lunar Landing is a Hoax Conspiracy Theorists or THELLIAHOCT for short".... are you one of them? :wink:

I believe that it is real or at least man did really step on the moon.

I have my suspicions... remember, the landing on the moon is more a political than scientific during that era...

That's why they managed to go to the Moon so fast... Technology will advance like rocket when they had a political reason to do it... If the US continue the pace of development at that time, we might had people drinking coffee at Mars now... :P :P :P That's why when Sovient Union fall apart, the US had no more reason to invest so much in space technology.

By the way, if the Moon landing was really a hoax, the Sovient Union will be the first one to tell the whole world and make a joke out of it, so I think US won't take that risk.

Have a nice day.

I saw the 'moon hoax' documentary on TV some time ago, and most of the arguments brought up on the 'so-called' evidence against the NASA moon landing & photos did not seem credible enough to me.

I also remembered an old movie called 'Capricorn One' in which the Mars mission was faked and fabricated. That was quite enjoyable to watch.

yes, i remember seeing that movie last year...
interesting. one of the most common "Errors" pointed out by "THELLIAHOCTians" is why they cannot see the stars in the moon photos....obviously these people did not even bother to learn about astronomy and photography when repeating all these crap...sigh....
